Actually, most of the updates can be downloaded and installed even if there is no user logged on. But for some updates, however, need to be installed when a user is logged on, because they need user input during the installation. Based on my experience, IE7 package need user interactive operations during its installation.

So, I think it is requirements for some specific updates and there is no bypass.

I usually stick to early in the morning or late at night- if the updates need UI, it will prompt the user at logon (pain, i know) and if it doesn't need UI, then it will update on its own and nothing is lost.
